The story of Tanis as told by Nick Silver and the basis of the Blair Witch Project. Both supernatural prescence or reality breach in the woods.

I didn't realize it was based on the Blair witch project. I should pick that podcast back up. the first season was a lot of fun!

Sorry, I was putting both concepts together because they are similar. They are ~~unrelated~~ independent stories.

I live in/near the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, so I heard plenty about the Jersey Devil.

There's way too many to list in South East Asia I'm not even sure where to start, and a lot of stories get passed down through trade but Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand each have their share of scary creatures. And to think some of them came about through stories parents tell their kids so they don't stray and get caught up with wild animals...
